break action shotgun

[Loyalist George W. Burns]

since afaik we cant get it as a call down, is it any good? and any chance of us getting it as a actual support weapon, i like it style, but i always got a support weapon so i only get to grab it when i die in emergencies

i try using it and i ditch it after firing it 1 time

I haven't been able to try it out yet, but it starts with 0 ammo in reserve, just the 2 shots it has loaded in it. So you need to pick it up, and then pick up a resupply box or one of the ammo crates that are probably also strewn around whatever PoI you found it at. Then it will get actual ammo.

It looks like it's probably pretty bad, and it's mostly flavor. Like, "this is what farmers were defending their properties and liberty from the bugs with." But, I'm going to incorporate it into my build and see. I currently like running Expendable Anti-Tank calldowns for difficulty 6 and below, and so as to not waste a stratagem slot, I will rely on scavenging whatever support weapon I can from the map or that teammates leave behind and just carry an EAT with me until then. I will eventually find out if break action is any good.

Love it.

It's looks cool, feel great too...expect it perform like hot garbage and take the support weapon slot for other weapon that can do so much more.

For essentially a double-barrel shotgun it lacks the damage to make up for the constant reloading. You are better off with anything else in this slot.

it's fun against the bugs and you can set it to shoot both shots at the same time.

It's got decent range for what it is, but yeah the break-action's pretty bad compared to the other support weapons you have access to. Personally, I believe it's only there for the Helldivers that either didn't bring a support weapon or died and can't reach the one they dropped.
